Agar-agar dessert recipe

Agar-agar is like Jello. It can be a nice dessert presentation. It is easy and fast to prepare. You can mold as flowers, animals, fishes etc...

1 bag of Agar-agar Powder
1 liter and half (0.40 gal) of water
400 gr (14.2 oz) of sugar
1 vanilla tube
1 coconut milk can
Food colour

- Pour 1 1/2 liter (0.40 gal) of cold water in a cooking pan
- Pour in the Agar-agar powder and mixed well
- Add sugar and stir over heat until it dissolves
- After mixing pour the vanilla and then remove the pan from heat
- Divide to 2 different bowls, one leave as it is, the other add coconut milk
- Mixed with the Food Colour then pour into the mold layer by layer
- As soon as the first layer sets (this takes only a few minutes), pour more agar mixture into the mold
- Repeat with the remaining layers mixed by your own creativity
- Chill in refrigerator until serving time

U can buy the agar agar from Asian stores. The one she used is a popular brand found a lot. They have them in bars too. Colored spongey bars

Where do you get the mold?

[OnKneesforJesus4]

I just tried following your recipe but I couldn't get the layers to harden. You said to wait a few minutes and I did that but when I poured on the next one, it would just mix in. The colours are ugly in mine. : (
